Another Paxton on E85

[JohnG]

I took my car out to Finish Line Performance in Milford, OH. They installed McLeod RXT clutch and flywheel, aluminum DS, OPG, CS Gear, FORE Stage 1 fuel system, and JLT CAI. The car already had a Paxton with 3.6" pulley and cat deletes. Made 680rwhp on 93 and 747rwhp on E85. Here is a video of one of the pulls. I'll snag a pic of the graph tonight to post.

Can anyone let me know how long they need the car to do the OPG and CS?

Congrats!!! Those are some very solid numbers!!!! Any plans to track it?

I believe they charged 8 hours for the job. Maybe [MENTION=10926]beefcake[/MENTION] can chime in with exactly how long they would like the car. My guess is a full day and then pick up sometime the next day.

Thanks! I'll probably try to run 1/4 next year when I can upgrade the halfshafts. For this year, I'm going to do some 1/2 mile roll racing in September.

Just spoke to Brian at Finish Line. You're correct, it's 8 hours for OPG + Crank Sprocket and an additional 2 if the blower is already on there. Blower install is $1000 if not already on.

That's not a bad price to install the blower. I had a Ford dealer charge me $1400 for a ProCharger install on my 2012 and it's my understanding that those things are pretty simple to install. I'm still glad I tackled the Paxton myself. I actually enjoyed the process.

Ah, yeah 8+2 for me. I didn't pay a ton of attention to the invoice. It was more than fair for all the work they did for me.

Wow, 67hp gain for the corn is damn good. I would of thought maybe the timing was really conservative on the pump, but 680rwhp is pretty stout also.

The corn tune is just awesome! I was a bit surprised with the 680, but I did make 620 on stock exhaust and airbox. Not unreasonable to think the CAI, cat deletes, lightened flywheel and aluminum DS added/freed up 60hp.

 

[beefcake]

yes, we get 8 hours on the opgs or opgs / cranks sprocket!!

What exhaust are you currently running? Sound great, not too loud. At least in the vid.

Any idea what timing was before and is now?

I'm running MAK cat deletes and an h-pipe. The rest of the exhaust is stock.

I'm not sure. I haven't looked at any of the logs.
